Id say let it be in q4 2012 so they catch up with nostradamus prediction of world end due to earth disaster having such a phone behind all rivals. What the hell is wrong with SE always behind competition. What does it take to write thelatest os to a high end phone. N they wonder about their falling profits!!!

        haha feggy x10 owners, U SHOULD FEEL DISSAPOINTED, not happy!
        Why? Cause by December of this year u should already see a device or 2 with FULL 1080p recording (my bud who works for htc told me that...), while SE is only getting updated to 720p and outdated OS,...well good luck with that,

        SE=always LATE!!!

                  SE knew this when they built the phone

                  They just never thought they would upgrade it like prev SE phones.

                  multi-touch is important for gaming most of all

                  good luck jumping while moving forward when that 4 inch screen can only detect one finger at a time

It's needed for the apps. And you can be sure that sometime this year Google will make multi-touch a baseline requirement in one of its updates. When it does, that'll be the end of the road for the X10.

                    X10 users better hope that Google avoids baselining multi-touch till they get sick of the phone.

                      The lack of multi-touch support in the hardware suggests to me a horrible oversight by SE. Sure it makes little difference now, but just you wait til the awesome app X is released that relies on multi-touch, we (I own an X10 too) will be out of luck.

                        Sony ericsson vivaz was one of my favorite because of hd recording but since the Xperia X10 will support hd also I might wait for this instead, this is a really great up date firmware!!

                              I'd like to add that I use this phone each day, if I'm lucky I get 6 hours battery. Imagine it with HD thrown in I'd be lucky to get 3 hours. I also use a N900 which I've pushed up to 900mhz and the battery lasts longer on that so come on SE do something about battery life.... pretty please.

                                and now lets look at the facts:
                                xperia x10 five months from now / nexus one:

                                larger screen, better camera, hd recording, mediascape˛& timescape/ multitouch?

                                xperia x10 five months from now / nokia n8:

                                larger screen, better resolution, better processor, android, mediascape&timescape / 12mp, xenon flash, videocall (amoled if sunlight legibility is up to it)

                                xperia x10 five months from now/ iphone 4:

                                larger screen, better camera, android, mediascape&timescape/ multitouch?

                                xperia x10 five months from now/ htc evo4:

                                mediascape&timescape/ slightly bigger screen, multitouch

                                ..AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IT IS A BEAUTY OF A PHONE.
                                GREAT PRODUCT WITH GREAT POTENTIAL

                                SE, keep up the good work :)

                                  Albeit this is a great announcement, but come on; if like me your a hardened mobile phone freak then surely by the time SE role out this update another 5-6 phones will have graced your pocket. Such a high end phone with a great screen like this should have had all this before it was released, and as people know there will no doubt be a new phone by SE coming out quite soon with all these features already which will make the X10 obsolete surely?

                                    how can you call it a great phone, what kind of taste do you have? the phones battery lasts for about 6 hours tops. No multi touch, bad wifi (which keeps cutting off) and the phone keeps resetting itself! I have owned this handset for nearly a month and believe me, its a month too long.

                                        nanananana, thats the problem wit SE fan boys, they think they have the best phone in the market, there a lot of handsets better than these crappies phones.

                                        HTC, MOTO, NOKIA, APPLE, SAMSUNG, LG, make better phones.
